Both are Linux based,...sounds like Android is customized for smaller displays and lesser processing power.
Yeah, but it seems like Chrome is a REAL “PC” level OS. I’ve heard it is just a skin really and not all that much changed from the generic linux kernel.
So, by forgoing Android on a tablet, WHAT are they saying?
A) Android is not robust enough and we don’t have enough apps to make a tablet as functional as the iPad?
B) Android COULD do it, but we think people will want to do FAR more things, like a netbook, so we are going Full OS?
Something esle?
It does not make sense to have an App OS like Android and limit it to just phones. Unless they are STUCK with it due to the total lack of manufacturing design controls.
This is th beauty of iOS. It runs EVERYTHING. iPods, iPhones, iPads and maybe the new iTV.
THAT means one app, one code, one designer and 4 or more target devices.
Where as if Google has Chrome for Tablets, and Android for phones, and several versions of each, it will get VERY hard to manage any sort of quality controls. And they have had more than enough problems in the QC as it is, you’d think they’d be all about setting SOME standards and not just running off with whatever fits at the time.
Yes?
